Sega Sammy Holdings, the parent company of Sega, has announced its financial results for the fiscal year ended March 2026. As reported by GameBiz, Sega saw revenue related to full-price video games decline by 12% year-on-year, with both new releases and catalogue titles performing weaker than in previous years.
During this fiscal period, Sega released Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army, Shinobi: Art of Vengeance, Sonic Racing: CrossWorld, Persona 3 Reload (console versions), Football Manager 26, and Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties among other titles, some of which reportedly fell short of expectations. Revenue related to newly launched titles was down 11%, while catalogue sales (sales of games released in previous years) were down 12.6%.
On the other hand, during the current fiscal year (April 2026 – March 2027), Sega expects a big comeback, with annual revenue projected to grow by 41.8% year-on-year. The company is basing these figures on four major game releases planned for the upcoming period, one of which is RGG Studio’s ambitious new project Stranger Than Heaven, slated for a Winter 2026 release.
The remaining three titles due to release by April 2027 are not known yet, but Sega has made big announcements like Persona 4 Revival, New Virtua Fighter Project (tentative title) and Total War: WARHAMMER 40,000 among others.
When it comes to free-to-play titles, Sega says annual revenue grew by 14% in the recently ended fiscal year, but this was carried by the company’s existing titles, while new releases (like Persona 5: The Phantom X and Sonic Rumble Party) performed below expectations.
